164560P.pdf   08/13/2018  Brian King  v.  The City of Crestwood, MO
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-4560
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Arnold and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. In action alleging defendants violated 
   plaintiff's civil rights by not awarding him attorneys' fees under Mo. 
   Rev. Stat. Sec. 563.074 after he was acquitted of violating the city's 
   ordinance on disorderly conduct, the district court correctly held that no 
   municipal liability under Section 1983 was present because the municipal 
   court judge's ruling did not constitute a final municipal policy decision 
   as it was subject to review or reversal by higher state courts; the 
   defendant judge was not a policy maker, and relief under Section 1983 is 
   foreclosed.
